Dec 01, 2017 (newstodate): With a total of 66,417 tonnes handled in the first 11 months of 2017, Denmark's Billund Airport has already surpassed the total volumes of cargo of the record year 2016.
November 2017 thus saw the handling of 6,617 tonnes which is an increase by 7.8 percent, y-o-y, including 2,372 tonnes of imports, up 23.2 percent and 4,245 tonnes of exports which was up 0.8 percent, y-o-y.
The 66,417 tonnes handled during January-November 2016 comprised 23,774 tonnes of imports, up 12.2 percent, and 421,683 tonnes of exports, an increase by 8.3 percent.
After this, Billund Airport is heading for a new record-year in air cargo.
One of the drivers behind the success is the two weekly Turkish Cargo freighter services between Istanbul and Billund.
The carrier first launched a weekly freighter operation at Billund on April 10, 2016, adding a second frequency from early November 2016.
